Details

Palamós, a vibrant coastal town on Spain’s Costa Brava in Catalunya, commands attention with its crisp Mediterranean waters, rugged cliffs, and charming fishing harbor. Custom Sailing offers unmatched access to this maritime playground with the Invictus FX190 • SQUALO—an open boat designed for performance-minded adventurers seeking both style and comfort on the sea. Built for agility yet spacious enough to host up to eight guests, the 2019 FX190 features a broad sun deck and premium seating that invites long hours of sun-drenched cruising or serene seaside relaxation. The boat's blend of sleek design and seaworthy agility creates a dynamic experience that feels equal parts luxury and raw coastal immersion.

Launching from Palamós’ historic port, this venture provides a front-row seat to the Costa Brava’s iconic limestone coves dotted with pine forests and hidden beaches accessible only from the water. The depth of the rocky underwater cliffs coax bright corals and swarms of colorful fish, a treat for snorkelers or nature-enthusiasts aboard. With sea breezes carrying faint scents of wild thyme and salt, the FX190 unlocks a perspective of the Mediterranean that is both refreshing and intimate—far from crowded beaches and tourist bustle.

Custom Sailing’s unique offering places it among Catalunya’s standout watercraft charters. Unlike standard sightseeing tours, the FX190’s design invites customization, whether it’s a relaxed afternoon of swimming and sunbathing, a spirited coastal cruise with friends, or even a private event on the waves. The company’s roots in Palamós, a town established as a fishing port since the Middle Ages, ground the experience in local maritime tradition alongside modern innovation.

For visitors seeking a distinctive Mediterranean adventure that balances speed, style, and safety, Custom Sailing’s Invictus FX190 • SQUALO is the vessel of choice. It’s a gateway to the natural splendor and outdoor charm that define Catalunya’s coastline, where every journey on the water reveals something new beneath the sun’s horizon.
